French Onion Noodle Bowl

Ingredients

* 3 oz package ramen (baked is best)
* 3 T diced dried onion
* 2 T cooked and dehdyrated hamburger or 'beef' tvp
* 2 low sodium beef bouillon
* 1 celery flakes
* 1⁄4 ground black pepper
* 1⁄4 instant stuffing mix
* 2 c water

Instructions

At home pack the onion, hamburger, bouillon, celery and pepper in a small bag. Pack the stuffing in a small bag and tuck the ramen noodles with them

One pot method:
Add 2 cups water to your pot. Add in the bag containing the onions and beef, along with the broth mix. Let sit for 5 to 10 minutes to soak.
Discard the "flavor" packet for the ramen. Bring the water to a boil, add in the ramen and cook on a gentle boil for 3 minutes. Pull off the heat and top with the stuffing mix.
Notes

I used baked ramen for the noodles. They are low fat and just plain taste better than traditional ramen - more like a Chuka Soba noodle, which can be used instead as well.
On the bouillon, you can use broth sticks - I find them at Trader Joe’s and they are lower sodium. www.Packitgourmet.com carries a a version of them that are higher in sodium. You can of course use the “flavor” packet in the ramen, lets just say it doesn’t taste as good!

Sarah - don't you have a spam/ramen one? Or am I thinking of the fried rice?

Lastly, one of my sons favorite no cook meals:

Pepperoni Pasta Salad

Ingredients

* 3 oz package ramen (discard flavor packet)
* 1⁄4 c freeze dried vegetables
* 1 pk shelf stable pepperoni slices (see notes)
* 1 oz shelf stable ranch dressing (1 packet)
* 1 T shelf stable Parmesan cheese
* 1 1⁄2 c water

Instructions

At home:
Break the ramen up a bit, put in a quart freezer bag with the vegetables. Pack the cheese in a small bag or take packets. Tuck the salad dressing packet, the pepperoni sleeve and cheese with the bag.

In camp:
Add the cool water to the bag, seal tightly. Let sit for 20 to 30 minutes. Drain off water carefully, add in the pepperoni and dressing, tossing to coat. Sprinkle on the cheese.
Notes

This salad is one of the more popular meals we do at trail cooking presentations.

For the pepperoni, look in the packaged deli meat section for small packages, 3 1/2 ounce size, of pepperoni. The package will have two sleeves in it. Take one with you, saving the other sleeve for another meal. The pepperoni is safe to carry for as long as you want it till opened. Once opened, eat within a couple hours.

Pick whatever freeze dried vegetables you prefer - adding in freeze dried olives is awesome.

It's high summer, too hot for soup in my neck of the woods; here's my ramen salad:

Package of Ramen noodles, crushed (discard flavor packet)
2 Tbsp Lentils, pre- cooked and dehydrated
2 tsp Green onion flakes
1/2 tsp Basil flakes
1 Tbsp Parmesan (dry cheese)
Salt & pepper, other seasonings to taste
1 Tbsp Olive oil
1 C Water

Combine and rehydrate in a zip- bag for about 3 hours; chilled is better; toss in some foraged or fetched- along green stuff.

Ramen recipes, huh? That's like asking for recipes on how to fix a coffee.

Discard MSG laden packet of salt and add just about anything - dried miso, alfredo sauce, dried mushrooms, dried peppers, garlic(fresh or dehydrated), TVP, shrimp, spices, fresh veggies, packet or can of chicken, spam, dried meats. One of my favorites is to add dried peanut sauce, died flaked coconut, dried mildly spicy peppers, dried ****ake mushrooms, and a big tablspoon full of peanuts or broken cashews.

[El Toro '94]

El Toro's simple no-cook ramen noodle trail recipe:

1. Stop hiking long enough to dig in pack for ramen noodles
2. Open noodle packaging
3. Dig out seasoning packet
4. Open aforementioned packet and sprinkle on noodles
5. Eat noodles
6. Place empty packaging in garbage bag
7. Resume hiking

The plain old way works for me

I made a horrible mistake last week at work...I try all my trail food out as packed lunches at work. I figure if I can't make it through a day at the office on it then it certainly isn't going to work in the field.

Anyway I stared off with your standard chicken Ramen noodles--innocent enough but then came the hatefulness...I added a can of tuna I didn't feel like getting the packs for the office trial; but it would not have mattered this is absolutely not something I'm willing to try again and would discourage anyone that has tastebuds from doing the same. I even tried to fix it with that miracle of fixers--hot sauce--but even that couldn't help it either it was just hateful. I'll stick ot the chicken packs

HI Beakerman, I read this twice and I must be missing someting in the explaination . I try these meals at the office too and I too have embarrassed myself and some thought it was real cool.
